Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine whether or not the different types of ADHD change according to age, gender, class and department. The study was carried out during the 2008-2009 academic year at Ondokuz Mayıs University and focused on students at the university. The data necessary to investigate the ADHD level of students has been gathered by the ADHD scale (Turgay,2004) and Personal İnformation Form. It can be seen that there were important differences between students of age, gender, class and section variables when considering attention disorder. In the same way it was also observed that there were important differences between the characteristics and problems associated with ADHD among the groups. This study gives us an important clue regarding the prevalance of ADHD and of its symptoms such as attention disorder, hyperactivity and impulsivity among university students.
